How much do you know about your roommate? Do you know what kind of
person he is when he stands in front of you? “Lame Ducks," a psycho
thriller written and directed by Anthony Fusco, addresses this
conundrum in a dark contemporary drama. The piece will presented for
its world premiere by Theater for the New City's Dream Up Festival
September 4 to 12, 2019.
Kyle is an emotionally distressed ex-wall street stockbroker who lives
alone in the East Village. He is suffering a broken heart from a
relationship with his girlfriend, Tina. He posts an online
announcement looking for a roommate. It's answered by Timmy, a sketch
artist who is new in town and curious about everything in the
neighborhood. They are initially compatible, but then dark secrets
begin leaking out. The play has nine parts, played by a cast of four
men and one woman.
